Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Costa Rica kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' - Costa Rica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 25' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 35' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Costa Rica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Costa Rica that had 7 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 41' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 42' - The referee calls foul for Anthony Contreras. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Miki Yamane.
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ayase Ueda departs to be replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 51' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 56' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Brandon Aguilera suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' - Celso Borges was booked on 61.
  • 62' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Celso Borges gets a Yellow card.
  • 62' - Another change for Japan made on 62 minute. Miki Yamane leaves to be changed by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 65' - Brandon Aguilera has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gerson Torres on 65 minute.
  • 67' - Junya Ito has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ritsu Doan on 67 minute.
  • 70' - The referee calls foul for Francisco Calvo. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 71' - Francisco Calvo was booked on 71.
  • 76' - Anthony Contreras has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 81' - GOAL! Keysher Fuller scores on 81.
  • 82' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuki Soma by Takumi Minamino on 82 minute.
  • 84' - Ko Itakura is having his name booked by the referee on 84.
